CITY COUNCIL: Resolution Authorizing Carmel Police Department to Renew Agreement for Sexual Assault Examiner Services with Monterey County Health Department Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)

Meeting Date: December 7, 2010
Prepared by: Commander Michael Calhoun

City Council
Agenda Item Summary

Name: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the Carmel Police Department to renew an agreement for Sexual Assault Examiner Services with the Monterey County Health Department Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) in an amount not to exceed $5,000.

Description: The Carmel Police Department and the Monterey County Health Department
Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) have a mutual interest in improving the
quality of evidence gathering involving sexual assaults to see that survivors receive
immediate medical-legal care, and to ensure the correct and accurate collection of
evidence to assist the criminal justice system. The purpose of this agreement is to
contract for administrative and related services.
The contract for SART services already was signed by the City; however, any contract
not approved through the formal process as required under Government Code 40602 is
void and unenforceable. California Government Code section 40602 provides the
method by which a General Law city can enter into a contract.
Overall Cost: Funds were allocated in the FY 2010-11 budget. Based on past crime trends, it
is estimated the costs will be less than $5,000. (See the attached invoice costs for
services).
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution. The City Attorney has reviewed the form and
content of the contract.
Important Considerations: The contract runs from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2015,
with automatic renewal terms of five (5) years.
Decision Record: None
